I took this picture just two weeks ago at sunset on a day when it was still warm enough to run on the boardwalk without a jacket. But check out this picture of what happens when it gets too cold.

I used to wonder why the heck there were palm trees -- REAL palm trees -- on the beach in Point Pleasant. But I grew to love them and have taken many photos of sunrise or dusk surrounding those trees.

In some of the summer photos I've posted, my friends thought I went for an island vacation...that's how beautiful those palms looked on our beach.

So I was very sad when I saw this during my morning run on Sunday.
